Sailing Holidays Ltd - Sailing and Flotilla Sailing Holidays in Greece and Croatia
... I think we've got the sailing bug because dry land just feels wrong to us now! It was absolutely amazing, and I'd jump at the chance to do it all again. I think I will have to, if only for the sake of the people at work, who I'm sure are fed up with me doing no work and spending all my time telling anyone that will listen about how fantastic my holiday was! I think a great testament to how much fun we had was that I was approached by someone as I stood in the queue in the airport to go home who'd seen us in the restaurant the night before and thought we looked like we'd had such a good time, he wanted to know which company we had sailed with so he could book something himself. We were pleased to heartily recommend Sailing Holidays!
Just a quick note to say how much we enjoyed the two week whole Ionian flotilla. Pauline ‘puts up’ with sailing, I’m the enthusiast. By the end of the two weeks she was won over, going through the brochure and saying “the faraway islands looks a good idea for next year”.
We just wanted to thank you for organising our fantastic flotilla holiday. It all went exceptionally smoothly and we were extremely well looked after by Sailing Holidays throughout our holiday. Our kids loved the experience and it was everything that we could have hoped for.
Having just completed 2 weeks fabulous holiday with 4 friends and my wife on the above trip, I would just like to record my entire satisfaction with your concept and organisation.
Having had a secret wish to go on one of these ‘flotilla holidays’ since Liz and I went on a tourist excursion on a sailing boat off St. Lucia in 1999, our friends, Ian and Heather Dawson, suggested it last year and well, here we are, totally converted.
We thoroughly enjoyed our fortnight and were highly impressed by the way they looked after us. Having heard stories from flotillas with other companies, we felt that SHL had struck a happy medium between inadequate support by some and unduly draconian rules and itineraries by others.
Just got back yesterday and wanted to drop a short note thanking you as a company and more specifically our lead crew on Zephyria - Jamie, James & Brooke - for a great holiday. My girlfriend had previously hostessed for a different flotilla company in the Aegean so we had a good idea what to expect but this was well over par. The right mix of sailing for both novices and more experienced sailors, great places to stay and enough time off the boat to enjoy the other benefits of being on holiday was spot on.
We enjoyed the whole experience so much that we are coming back this September, and planning to return next June again.
Everyone should get off the beach and go afloat, we are happy that we have.
We are writing to thank you for the most superb holiday (again). Needless to say we are looking forward to next year and maybe the Saronics.
Again thank you - I recommend you to everyone.
We have just returned from our second Flotilla Holiday in Greece. It was great. Congratulations to you and your team. I just couldn't have been better.
It was a fantastic holiday and all your arrangements worked perfectly. Most of our flotilla bonded really well and the friendliness of the lead crew was instrumental in this. I made lots of new friends and shared many great experiences. For me personally, not being a keen sailor, it was great to know that at the end of a day, the crew were there to help and also have fun with. I am sure that my partner and I will be booking another holiday with you very soon!
We had a great time from start to finish and all in between! This was my third time with your company and everything I had appreciated before from your holidays was all there once again and we even managed to visit plenty of places I had not been to before.
Thank you all very much
My daughter and I have recently returned from a wonderful two weeks with Jamie in Greece. I can understand why “Sailing Holidays” is so successful cause the formula is magic and I can only think a plain sea, beach, book, and beer holiday would be very boring after all the activity that we have exerted during the past two weeks.
This is just to let you know that the Sailing Holidays standards aren`t slipping!
Peggy, Marileen and I had a truly wonderful time. The whole holiday, from booking to return to Gatwick ran perfectly and all you team, in London, as well as Greece did a superb job.
We were pretty new to sailing but had a wonderful time with Sailing Holidays and with great support from your team. I wish I had discovered these holidays years ago!
Just wanted to say what a fantastic time we had May 2009 on our very first time aboard. We were total novices but were made to feel so confident because of our excellent team Jamie,James and Brooke. Made some excellent friends and would say to anyone thinking of doing this, book it, it is just so much fun !!!!!
The 323s are terrfic boats for us and we are completely hooked having always liked the Jags and particularly the conversions. I suppose there is no going back! Loved the extra gadgets especially the wind instruments which were a revelation, super heads - no need to go ashore to shower, the fans, separate domestic battery and a working fridge. Brilliant! We are looking forward to bringing the first group of grandchildren next year.
Back a week now from a jag holiday out of Corfu. Just wanted to drop a quick line to say what a fantastic time was had and how well James, Jamie and Brook looked after everyone. Will certainly book again in the future.
Hi folks,
We've just got back from a fortnight in the Ionian on the Jaguar/Feeling flotilla led by James, Liam and Hannah. This was our twelfth trip with you - same route, same fortnight each year - and as usual we had a fantastic holiday. The lead crew was one of the best we've had; nothing was too much trouble for them, they always kept the 'This is your holiday, not ours' attitude.
Once again I felt that I should send you a personal note thanking you and your team for a superb holiday enjoyed by all 27 of our group. Many thanks, look forward to seeing you all next year.
Hi, just a short note to say how much we enjoyed the week in the southern Ionian on yacht Mythos. Mythos is a joy to sail and is well equipped with plenty of room and a credit to your fleet.
